Robotic scientists in China have succeeded in ‘controlling’
\n live mice.<\/p>\n
Experts at the robot research centre in Shandong Technology
\n University controlled white mice by stimulating micro-electrodes on their
\n heads.<\/p>\n
The mice obeyed computer-generated commands to, in succession, "turn
\n left", "turn right" and "move forward".<\/p>\n
Project manager Su Xuecheng said animal robot research is the merger
\n of electronic communication and biology, creating a new scientific discipline.<\/p>\n
Scientists believe it will eventually lead to new ways of curing disabilities
\n as electronic signals are used to replace damaged nerves.<\/p>\n
